Lenovo was caught putting a root kit on their computers a few years ago. They are no longer an option for me.

Guess I bought my last Toyota.

I would bet on AGI arriving sooner rather than later.

The primary limiting factor right now is availability of power and space. Once small modular reactors start to really take off, we are going to see insane growth in AI development.

I totally understand the challenges with infrastructure that need solving, but that doesn’t mean AI is useless or that it’ll never be better than it is now.

Frankly, the “AI slop” crusade isn’t working. It’s time to choose a new fighter.

This is what I’m talking about. “Always will be”? AGI will come. Don’t bet against it.

People are way too pessimistic about AI. NVIDIA is going to sell GPUs by the truckload until research finds a way around CUDA.

Sure, the pace of big leaps has slowed, but I liken this phase to the early 1900s. Cars were slow and unreliable, but once the technology took foothold and the 4th Industrial Revolution really took off, look how much progress was made. We went to the moon by the 60s.

Anyone dumb enough to vote against their own interests because the candidate hates the same way they do.

Eh, fuck em.

Oh boy, I didn’t realize I was feeding a troll. My bad!

But republicans control every facet of government right now. They can easily end the shutdown right now.

lol. Lmao even.

The United States spends more on defense than any country in the world by far, including Russia.

It would not be particularly competitive.

Nah, our president is definitely compromised by Russia. Every time the subject of Ukraine comes up you can just see it plain as day.

Need to get them to do something fun away from home.

Oh cool. Our president lacks any form of humility or introspection.

OpenAI is led by a mendacious, manipulative asshole purporting to be something he is not.

His own board tried to oust him for this reason.

Podcasters in the know allude to the fact that he says things publicly he doesn’t believe, and actually thinks some pretty heinous things about the future of AI.

Tactics like these are further evidence that they know just how bad AI could be for humanity, but they want the most profit they can extract from it before they run off to their doomsday bunkers.

When you see Sam Altman talking, just know he’s not revealing his true thoughts.

Why are my tax dollars being used in this manner?

Yes, that is what they are trying to do.

It’s straight up treason.

I made a pretty innocuous comment a few days ago and it was deleted with an admin warning. I don’t remember what exactly I wrote and can’t see my own comment anymore.

Stuff like this gives me hope for the future.
